On Pakistan's Defence Day, children of martyred soldiers shared their thoughts and feelings about their fathers' sacrifices. These messages reflect a mix of pride in their parents' service and personal reflections on loss.
The daughter of Havaldar Muhammad Shahbaz Shaheed expressed pride in her father's martyrdom while acknowledging the difficulty of seeing other children with their fathers.
Lieutenant Colonel Saqib Ali Faraz Shaheed's daughter stated her pride in her father's sacrifice for the country's protection.
Sons of Havaldar Abdul Ghafoor Shaheed expressed their intention to follow in their father's footsteps, with one saying he aspires to join the army and achieve martyrdom like his father.
The children's messages also emphasized the nation's appreciation for both martyrs and current soldiers guarding the borders.
These statements are seen as a clear message to adversaries about the nation's unbreakable spirit. Defence Day is described as an occasion for the entire nation, including families of martyrs, to renew their commitment to the country.
